The iPad doesn't get the award because of its hardware, lovely as the hardware is. It gets the award because its apps are generally better than the apps available for Android tablets.

LOL...but seriously...I'm still trying to figure out why people are ok with these half useful OSes. Fine for a phone but if a pad (they are not tablets yet) wants to be something more it needs a real OS. This pad fad thing makes me sad...I look at an Asus Transformer and cry knowing how great it would be with Linux(like a real distro) or even Win8 on it.

Source? I hope you're not basing this on the most recent Foxconn report that has already been debunked and being retracted because the reporter lied for hits, are you?

Happy now?

In all seriousness, I could swear that it was common knowledge that Android didn't have as many apps as iOS, but other then a few exceptions, I haven't run into any difference in quality!

In any case, it's reasons like this article that increase my drive to make games on these mobile devices we call tablets.
